be my hero

A hug that stops everything A hug that lasts forever Mends a broken heart, colder thicker blacker than leather A kiss that tends the crippled wing An ear that listens that hears me sing Suffer in silence and stifle your screams Cry till your eyes bleed then you’ll know what real pain means Nothing in your power will ever make me whole The world is to busy heart black as coal Your uncleansed mind couldn’t possibly think Ull never understand therefore I must drink Stop the pounding pain Wash these tears this salty rain A pull of a trigger, a plunge of a knife Please take the bullet and save my life Be a hero and take a stand My life is passing so take my hand My body shivers my soul is cold You’ve been there with me from young to old Hug me tight and don’t let go Tell me you love me just let me know
